<\/p>\n

Charli XCX is officially set to headline Reading and Leeds Festival 2026<\/strong>, marking a full-circle moment six years after she publicly criticized the festival\u2019s lack of female headline acts.<\/p>\n

The 365<\/em> hitmaker will top the bill alongside fellow British and Irish acts: Raye, Florence + The Machine, Fontaines D.C., Chase & Status,<\/strong> and Dave<\/strong>. Organizers revealed it will be the first time in 25 years<\/strong> that all headliners hail exclusively from the U.K. and Ireland \u2014 and the only U.K. festival appearance for each act in 2026.<\/p>\n

Charli XCX, who dominated stages this year at Coachella, Glastonbury, and Primavera while touring her acclaimed 2024 album Brat<\/em>, is expected to usher in a \u201cnew era.\u201d She recently teased the transition with her new singles House<\/strong> and Chains of Love<\/strong>, from the soundtrack of Emerald Fennell\u2019s Wuthering Heights<\/em> adaptation.<\/p>\n

Charli XCX headlining spot comes more than six years after she blasted the festival for repeatedly featuring all-male headliners.
\u201cThey just need to book more women\u2026 Nothing has changed,\u201d she told NME in 2020.<\/p>\n

Although organizers have since included female headliners such as Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Lana Del Rey, and Halsey, debates about representation have continued.<\/p>\n

The 2026 lineup will also feature Jade, Skepta, Kneecap, Sombr<\/strong>, and Role Model<\/strong>.
The festival runs from 27\u201330 August 2026<\/strong> at Richfield Avenue in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds.<\/p>\n
